Routledge Rules and Choice in Economics: Essays in Constitutional Political Economy (Economics as Social Theory)

Product Description First published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. Review "With "Rules and Choice in Economics, Vanberg establishes himself as one of the foremost individualist social theoriests of his generation. There is much to profit from in this volume, and even more intellectual profits are to be reaped by those who pick up his challenge and explore the interplay between the order of rules and the order of actions." -Journal of Economic Behavior and Organiztion "I am sure that the book will have a wide impact. It constitutes one of the most important analytical texts in the revival of modern institutional economics. The careful attention paid to Hayek and to evolutionary themes is especially welcome." -Geoff Hodgson, Cambridge University "The book is a welcome contribution to recent efforts to rethink the behavioral foundations of social science." -"Contemporary Sociology About the Author Viktor J. Vanberg is both Professor of Economics and member of the Center for Study of Public Choice at George Mason University.
